Tuberous Breasts

Dr. Steven Teitelbaum a highly-respected respected board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles who has performed male to female transgender top surgery for over two decades. His depth of understanding of the process goes far beyond the usual – he is deeply aware of the significant – and subtle differences – for a successful MTF top surgery vs. performing a similar procedure on a CIS patient.

The goal of MTF top surgery is to sculpt beautiful, natural-looking breasts. Dr. Teitelbaum employs an innovative surgical technique that has proven to be far superior to what is used in CIS breast augmentation. To create beautiful, feminine breasts, he uses an anatomically shaped breast implant, stabilized with a reinforcing strip of absorbable mesh places at the crease beneath the breast.

Beautiful Breasts: Artistry and Surgical Skill Beyond the Ordinary

This approach creates a natural breast appearance, with the upper breast contoured, and delicately feathering from upper chest, with increased projection on the lower breast – just as nature dictates. Your breasts are a critical aspect of your transition and Dr. Teitelbaum understands the importance of sculpting a beautiful, natural, feminine upper body.

One of the issues that has proven to be difficult for some plastic surgeons attempting this procedure surrounds nipple location. Problems are, unfortunately, far too common in MTF top surgery. The nipple location is altered in surgery, but as time passes, the implant drifts lower, and the nipple structure now looks wrong.

Dr. Teitelbaum was asked to present his innovative surgical technique MTF top surgery at the 2018 Atlanta Breast Symposium – the largest plastic surgery meeting in the world focused strictly upon breast surgeries.

Sensitive to the Needs of the Transgender Community

Dr. Teitelbaum and his staff take great pride in assisting the transgender community to achieve their authentic bodies.
